Aggies will buy A&M merchandise.” Groff said they are seeking bids for someone to manage the licensing program. Floyd said even though funds are sometimes transferred, it does not mean other student ac tivities are receiving less fund ing. “Many times, it is due to the fact that student activities are receiving funds from other sources, such as the Coke ma chines or AT&T," he said. Brenckman claims Bowen met with representatives from Licensing Resource Group to formalize a contract which out sources almost all functions pre viously performed by the Uni versity’s licensing staff and planned to redirect licensing revenue to Athletics in Decem ber of 1998 without consulting the Texas A&M Board of Re gents. “It is up to the President’s discretion as to how to allocate funds,” Floyd said. Brenckman said that accord ing to an official at A&M Honors Program, funding budgeted from licensing for freshman and sophomore scholarships award ed to students in 1995 was re scinded by Bowen when he transferred nearly $1 million dollars from licensing to Athlet ics.
